Juventus players Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi have both made a complete recovery after testing positive for coronavirus, the club have confirmed.
France international midfielder Matuidi confirmed he had been diagnosed with the virus on March 18, a week after it was revealed that Italian defender Rugani had contracted Covid-19.
The Serie A club said both players had undergone swab tests which had come back clean, meaning they no longer have to self-isolate.
A club statement read:
“Rugani and Matuidi underwent, as per protocol, a double-check with diagnostic tests (swabs) for the coronavirus. The tests came back with negative results. The players have, therefore, recovered and are no longer subjected to the home isolation regime.”Matuidi had previously announced via Instagram that he had tested positive for the virus, although he had not shown any symptoms.
He wrote:
“I am an asymptomatic carrier of the virus, aware of the privilege of being a professional footballer and as such benefit from regular and excellent medical monitoring. If it weren’t, I probably never would have known.”
